>> pam: a quick live look at bridge traffic -- on this tuesday evening commute. as many of us experience first hand, it is not always easy getting around the bay area -- with so many vehicles on the road. but, some relief could be ahead, thanks to a new, first of its kind study. which pin-pointdd some the worst trouble-spits. kron4's george rask has more.

>> this is tracking over 3000 drivers using their cellphone and gps signals. this is the first time it has been done one of the worst areas they found was the 101 corridor through south east san jose. keep in mind it is not only the freeway but the traffic leading to the freeway that contributes to these slow downs. the study found that many people get on the freeway are round the same time. and another concern is the castro valley, the 580, and highway 92. again traffic leading from outlying areas onto the freeway will lead to the slowdowns. and the san ramon/dublin. and crow canyon road. and highway 1 0 1 in the sun rafael region. again, all of the redwood city feed systems. caltran

and local transportation officials are reviewing these results and want to contribute additional metering liked to spread out the volume of drivers. this study has shown that if they can reduce this by 1 per cent it can improve your drive time by 14 percent. that is eight minutes per hour. george russ, kron 4. >> pam: ithat was george rask...dry weather is bringing out road crews in the santa cruz mountains. heavy december rains are blamed for mud and rock slides which have taken out a stretch of vine hill road near highway 17 kron four's rob fladeboe has the latest on the continuing efforts to clear the storm damage. >> reporter: after negotiating a bumpy one-lane ride across washed-out vine hill road for more than a month, residents have no problem with new delays now that work has begun on a permanent fix. >> i actually saw before they did anything to it and

caused road repairs are back-logged due to a lack of funds, others, like vine hill road are on a fast- track because it's an alternate route to nearby highway 17. >> the last time the road was blocked it took 1.5 years before it was fixed. this is certainly better than that. >> reporter: weather permitting, work on vine hill road should be complete by the end of the month. in the santa cruz mtns rob fladeboe kron 4 news. >> jacqueline: it was a nice day but big changes. for the rest of the week with a system that is going to be dropping into the bay area. that will bring it some very, very cold air. temperatures are going to be significantly cooler and even cooler on thursday. friday's low. 20's. near freezing for the bayshore. more on that but first let us take a look at the satellite & radar. the fog is increasing and the main event is off the coast. washington is continuing to

safety board. is now calling the recent crash a "major marine casualty". because the damage totals more than half- a- million dollars. the director of the simulation program at the california maritime academy in vallejo. used their state-of-the-art bridge simulator to give us an idea of what it is like for a pilot to navigate a cargo ship through the fog on the bay >> this simulation, we can recreate the same situation. and say that this is what happened. for now, we have what is considered a 3 mi. visibility. we have an officer on watch, a shipmaster, and a pilot. because this is happening during while i am piloting bible be speaking to the

bridge capt. and the captain. on weather or not we can continue. >> looking out the window with restrictive visibility is more difficult to cure you have the rader, the satellite signals. those are the two main electronic devices. now, with only 2 mi. of this ability. we could even start hearing fog signals. you would reverse the propeller. coming to the stop of a ship is not putting brakes on an automobile there could be more likely to encounter difficulty. and there are guidelines and rules for navigation and fog. i are in place for the decision making process but in the end, something went wrong. we do not know. >> pam: officials with the

academy that say that these findings will help with future incident prevention. stay with kron-4 as we continue to follow developments -- in the tanker hit of the bay bridge. you can follow updates on the web at kron-4-dot-com, and our facebook and twitter pages. >> catherine: this was day two of the preliminary hearing for james holmes. he's the man charged in the colorado movie theatre massacre. 12 people died and dozens were injured. prosecutors are giving us a better look at just how elaborately they say holmes set up his plot to kill. holmes looks very different from the days right after he was arrested. a brown moustache and beard - replacing the dyed red hair. the first 9-1-1 call made to police from the movie theatre last july was played today. during which at least 30 shots are heard in the 27- second call.

other testimony today included officers explaining the very elaborate booby trap system they say holmes had waiting for them in his apartment. there was a thermos full off glycerin leaning over a hot chemical. a trip wire linked theholmes they say - had soaked his carpet with gasoline.and had loud music playing. the theory -- he wanted lots of police distracted and and possibly killed. delaying the response time to the movie theatre and his shooting spree. among the people in the packed audience. survivors and relatives of the victims. as i mentioned before, it is difficult to explain. >> "he has no emotion. like a robot. nothing else". >> catherine: sam soudani's daughter farrah was badly injured that night.and he came to support her. >> "because she decided to come.i just want to hold her hand. no more." >> catherine: the hearing will determine whether there's enough evidence to head to trial. testimony also detailed holmes strange behavior after his arrest. at one point - when paper bags were put over his hands to preserve gunshot residue. police say he began playing

"how was newtown?" >> "tough." >> "brought back a lot of memories about what that

was like for us, some two years ago today. and you hope that happen again. but you know what? it does happen again." their goal is to get elected officials to do more to prevent gun violence nationwide. it's an initiative similar to president obama's taskforce headed by vice president joe biden, expected to lay out recommendations as early as the end of the month. but such efforts face opposition. some believe getting rid of guns will not keep citizens safe. >> "you have a first amendment, there's a second amendment. but guns do not kill people. we just had two murders, my office investigated, by knives. should we take all the knives away? where do you draw the line?" >> reporter: a complex question leaders are searching to answer. in washington, i'm sandra endo. in washington, i'm sandra endo. kron 4 news.
